In the past six months, my home has been undergoing renovations. I have always heard that there are all kinds of huge pits in decoration, so I checked everything carefully and carefully consulted the suggestions of experts. It was really hard work and I often went to the site to check. Water, electricity, hardware, waterproofing, various soft furnishings (sofas, wall paint, etc.), electrical appliances (refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, etc.), etc.
Because it involves too many things. Therefore, we will talk about the sanitary ceramic sanitary ware - toilet part in a separate article. (Other sub-parts, there are links at the end)
=========Important Note=========
- In addition to brands, they are divided into three, six and nine levels. Same brand, different model. Or the same brand, online and offline are also divided into levels.
- For example, level 1 is for export products, level 2 is for domestic products, and level 3 is for e-commerce products. The lowest level of e-commerce is domestic, followed by the best, which are exported to European and North American markets. Not seen on the market. In fact, what you can see from manufacturers that make foreign money is very limited.
- Moreover, for the same brand, in different time periods (such as October-December 2019, 2020 period, etc.), differences in quality batches will also occur due to various reasons such as changes in personnel management, acquisitions, and changes in equipment and factory locations. As a result, the products purchased vary greatly in different years and different monthly periods.
- unofficial flagship store. For example, XXX (brand name) YYY (another company's agent name) store is an agent selling goods. Although they are all of the same brand, they are most likely refurbished or even defective.
- In order to buy original brand products as much as possible, please go to the brand’s official flagship store (JD.com, Tmall), and try to go to the brand’s official mall (not JD.com, Tmall. Not JD.com, Tmall.)
- There are also domestic It is still an international brand, no matter how many lines it is, it has a good product rate (that is, someone will always buy a defective product). It's just that the first-line manufacturers have a stable and much higher yield rate.
- ’s special contribution is the explosive traffic. The special contribution is used to prevent. In order to reduce costs, the quality must have declined, or some places have been castrated and shrunk. Never think that you are taking advantage of something. There are other products at different prices in the store. (For example, the more than 1,000 Kohler and TOTO are products that are blocked in the product system. The quality inspection and parameter standards are relatively large or even very different from the high-end in their own system, or the second-tier brand products at the same price. There is a big gap. It is better to buy a second-tier brand at the same price)
This article was written in November 2020. If there are changes in the brand in the future, problems will arise in the product batch or the entire product line. The subsequent time period shall prevail.
===============Sanitary ceramic sanitary ware====================
At present, most of the sanitary ware brands sold in China are Roughly divided into three to four camps
The first-line camp is naturally those familiar foreign brands:
Duravit
[Focus on ceramic sanitary ware, the main OEM is Chongqing Siwei Sanitary Ware (mid-to-low-end domestic OEM) . high-end price products are purely imported ]
GROHE
[originally and Hansgrohe , but later separated. The low-end and mid-range domestic products are OEMed by Fujian Zhongyu or shipped by factories in Thailand. High-end The high-end products are imported from Germany, specializing in hardware]
Lejia
[Spanish brand, with an assembly factory in Nanhai, Foshan, faucet showers and other recast products are produced by Gisto sanitary ware acquired by Kaiping 09, while sanitary ware was acquired Eagle sanitary ware production, a small amount of imported products. It is worth mentioning that the brand used very despicable methods in the process of acquiring Jishiduo Bathroom Ware, and was looked down upon by people in the industry. 】
American standard
【Around 2015, quality haha. American Standard is now bought by Japan. I don’t know how its ceramic sanitary ware will fare in 2020】
Toto
【To give a very intuitive analogy, Toyota in the bathroom. The quality is very stable and the design is good. Sometimes you have to obey the Japanese. Mainly engaged in ceramic sanitary ware and OEM hardware products.The faucets and recast parts are from Kaiping Factory W, the ABS electroplating parts are from Xiamen Factory H, and the bathroom cabinets are from Factory V in Sanshui, Foshan. 】
has established Toto China Company in China since 1995. It has established 7 branches in China and invested in the construction of 8 production plants. Therefore, domestic TOTO products are all produced by domestic factories.
Inax Inax
[Japan's lixil brand. It is worth mentioning that inax has now become a brother brand with Gaoyi and Zhongyu. More than 80% of Gaoyi's shares have been acquired by the Japanese. Now Grohe and Zhongyu are actually Japanese brands. It is similar to Toto, but the overall quality standard of hardware products is not as good as Toto, because it can be seen from its hardware foundry that a third-rate factory in Kaiping called SR is making some recast products for it. It may enter the domestic market on a large scale in the next few years. 】
Kaldewei
【Major manufacturer of ceramic sanitary ware and steel plate bathtubs. These two products are indeed very good, but other products I think the price/performance ratio is very average. In Europe is quite awesome. The bathtubs in slightly better hotels are almost all Kaldewei products . 】
Villeroy & Boch
[ Villeroy & Boch, not Chaozhou that . Genuine royal supplies are also quite expensive. Domestic traders obtained agency rights to enter the Chinese market, but they failed miserably because the price was too high. News of terminal closures came from various places. Personally I think it's deserved. People’s money is now relatively less easily defrauded than it was a few years ago. 】
Kohler
【Faucet hardware is very reliable, and the design can be regarded as a model of original American hardware. There are several wholly-owned factories in China. The sanitary ware factory is in Sanshui, Foshan. is not as refined as Toto, nor can it keep up with Duravit, and is comparable to from many domestic first-tier brands. Whether it is glaze style, equipment, craftsmanship, etc., there is actually not much to recommend it. The only praiseworthy thing about is the mold design, which is quite beautiful . The bathroom cabinet OEM factory is also located in Leping Industrial Zone, Sanshui, Foshan, less than 4 kilometers away from the sanitary ware factory. 】
Hansgrohe
【Mainly engaged in hardware. The shower head is very good. What's great about it is its stable performance under different water pressures. The silicone water circuit inside is so sophisticated that no other brand can do it. This is Hansgrohe’s specialty. But only Raindance series is worth buying . The prices of low-end ones are actually quite deceptive, such as Coloma. The leader is OEM in Guangzhou HO factory. The design is really strong, but the price is too expensive.
Moen
[Main hardware, faucet shower recast parts foundry is the same as Hansgrohe, product standards are lower than Hansgrohe's standards. The sink was previously manufactured by OSD in Shunde, but now it is manufactured in a factory in Ningbo. The faucet cannot keep up with Kohler, and the shower head cannot keep up with Hansgrohe. 】
Chongqing Siwei
[In terms of ceramic sanitary ware, Siwei is still good, after all, it used to be Duravit's industrial and commercial agent]
Look at the brand for the basis of yield and quality. The most important thing is to look at the materials used in the specific product
Deciding on the toilet Quality is 4 elements. Ceramics, Glazes, Crafts, Waterware.
----------------------Ceramic, glazed----------------------
The old brand has always focused on making ceramics, and has its own factory and large-scale firing kiln. It is the first choice.
----------------------Toilet water parts----------------------
Almost The water parts of all sanitary ware factories are OEM, (for example, Eagle Sanitary Ware is the company's quality system and process standards, including procurement standards. As Eagle Sanitary Ware has been trained by Singaporeans and multinational companies)
should be the one with the largest domestic application It is the Xiamen WDI brand, which is WIDIA . In addition, Xiamen R&T, Foshan Meitu, Shenzhen Sakurai, and Xiamen Nisong are all relatively excellent brands. Normally, the durability of a water component directly determines how long the toilet can be used.
is a good idea, Brother Li. In fact, there are three first-line domestic water accessories brands: Geberit, Realte , and Vidia. Geberit is a Swiss brand. Now it is basically made in Zhejiang. The price is 150-200 yuan, not the imported price. It is all domestic . The actual standard of Widia you mentioned is not that high in the industry. Widia is better at boasting, but Rielte from the same city as Xiamen is more low-key, but practical.
------------------Price selection------------------
1500 Choose a domestically produced toilet. Definitely more cost-effective than foreign brands. Lehua series (Anhua, Wrigley, Faensa), Eagle Bathroom (note, not Eagle Bathroom), Hengjie, these are all good choices.
If you want to enjoy a higher level of enjoyment at the civilian level, just buy a smart toilet seat (remember to leave a socket next to the toilet)
3000-7000 Choose Duravit and toto
If you are brand-controlled, you can choose toilets priced between 7 and 8000 Imported Villeroy & Boch.
--------------Bathtub----------
Cast iron bathtubAt present, in China, it is the best that can form the brand effect of this category. It’s Kohler and Kaldevi. Nowadays, polycarbonate polymer artificial stone bathtubs are also popular, so you can consider them.
If you want high-end products, Kaldewei and Kohler both started out with cast iron bathtubs. In terms of ordinary goods, the cast iron cylinders of Huida are quite advantageous. Hebei usually does a lot of this stuff, but Foshan does very little. It is recommended that you check out 1688, there should be good choices.
If it is an acrylic massage tub, there are many choices in Foshan. Brands such as Langjing, Yigao, and CRW are all doing well.
-------------- digression----------
HY products are divided into three levels.
1 is an export product, level 2 is a domestic product, and level 3 is an e-commerce product. The lowest level of e-commerce is domestic, followed by the best, which are exported to European and North American markets. Not seen on the market. In fact, what you can see from manufacturers that make foreign money is very limited.
Huida’s products are indeed not fair, often competing with ToTo, but the products are still good, and the ceramic products are slightly more focused than other brands. Everyone who makes ceramics knows that the heavier the product, the better. Personally, I think the yield rate is better than that of Wrigley. If you know a certain brand in Chaozhou, you will know why the toilet is so deformed before leaving the factory.
As for the overall bathroom ============================
It is recommended that the products be purchased separately for the highest cost performance. After all, the core products of each brand are different (it is best to have their own factory production rather than OEM). For example, buy A for the toilet, B for the sink, C for the shower room, D for the shower head, etc. Of course, if you are really lazy, then buy a brand with better reputation and after-sales service. Buy the whole series.
Right. If the diet is disordered, such as eating fried food and carbonated drinks for 3 days in a row. Then tens of thousands of toilets are useless.
